Ty’s fauxy tuna

i found some kelp powder with cayenne pepper the other day at whole foods. so i read a few fake tuna recipes, and decided to give it a shot. kelp powder is what gives it the fishy flavor, but it’s not overpowering. i did not have celery, or i would have added some. however, i did find that the carrot top stem added a nice celery type crunch & taste, and the leaves gave it a nice freshness, so it’s really not necessary.

1. You will need to steam or simmer the tempeh to take some of the bitterness out. Steam in a basket for 15 minutes, or bring vegetable stock or water and tempeh up to a boil, and drop heat to low to simmer for 15-25 minutes. Drain tempeh, and set to cool in fridge. When cool to the touch, crumble tempeh into a medium size bowl.
